adapter for jetcat battery
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,

I am trying to find an adapter so that I can charge my jetcat battery.

I have a picture attached of my cellpro board and the 4 pin jetcat plug.

I previously bough an adapter from jetcat but it still didnt fit the board that I have.

Is there an adapter that will fit the jetcat plug and fit my cellpro board?

Thanks
Dave

If you are careful, you can grind the plug a little bit and just use the standard JST-XH board. The pin pitch is the same

I guess I should say, only do this if you are comfortable with balance harnesses and their polarities etc. I make my own so, its no big deal to me.

I'm not sure if this will help but have a look here:

My Jetcat battery has a JST EH balance plug.

Many chargers have JST EH plugs in the side that take these adaptor leads...so the battery plugs directly into the charger, usually on the far right

Tried that directly to the charger - no match.

Thanks though!

From cellpro, buy the KO (kokam) adapter it is the correct one for the Jetcat plug. I just purchased it and it is correct.

+1 on the KO adapter.

Post a picture of the balance tap connector on the battery and then we should be able to tell you what you need.
I just took a look at the connector on the A123 pack provided with my newest turbine and it looks quite different
from what I recall being on the Lipo pack on my P120 so I assume that they may have used more than one type over
the years. I'm sure CellPro has an adapter for it whatever it is. You probably want the KO adapter but that doesn't appear
to be what is on my A123 pack that came with my newest turbine..

JST-EH is the same at KO according to FMA direct. The board they sell is the GP/KO adapter board for the cellpro 4. It plugs directly into the balance lead on the battery.

Jetcat doesn't use A123 packs (in the UK at least). They use LifePo4.

It's already been stated what the plug is - it's a JST EH (which FMA call the KO).

The link that I posted above shows what you need. It is a new board. You could probably get a cable from somewhere (or make one) but the boards are cheap and if you ever get a pack with a different number of serial cells you won't need to buy another cable.

Changed all my balance leads to JST XH, got hold of a batch of plugs and changed over the pins from one to the other, now I don't have to keep searching for the right balance board, they are all the same.

cut of the original plug from battery, solder new JST type on, then it will work with all your hobbyking batteries also ;)
